BUILD YOUR MASSIVE ACTION PLAN
It’s not about doing 1,000 things. It’s about doing the right few things.
Taking massive action means doing whatever it takes to get the result you are committed to. Creating a massive action plan ensures that you get the outcome you deserve.

STEP 3: CONNECT & ADD IMMEDIATE VALUE
Stand Out & Be Unforgettable
Don’t try to blend in. It’s okay to be a little weird. Be yourself and be memorable. By adding immediate value and acting in a way that appears you’ve already got the job, your 10X more likely to be hired.

Step 4: Ask for the Job

37
STEP 4: ASK FOR THE JOB
Always Be TEST Closing
๏ “In Your Opinion, Do You Feel That…” “…this position is critical to the long-term success of the company?” “…I would be a good cultural fit for this company?” “…I have demonstrated my deep desire to join this team?” “…I would succeed in this role? “…I would make a significant contribution to this company?”
๏ Get their objections out on the table while talking “Do you have any questions about my skills and experience?” “Do you see anything that would prevent me from filling this position?” “Have I demonstrated my qualifications and innovation?”
© 2016 Trepoint, Inc
38
STEP 4: ASK FOR THE JOB
Always Be TEST Closing
๏ Probe for the timeline & other decision makers ‘When are you looking to fill this position?” “Who would make the final decision about filling this position?” “If you decided that I was right for this position, when would you want me to start?”
๏ Get a commitment to give you an answer “Regardless of outcome, can I count on you to give me feedback around your decision (either to hire me or someone else)?” “Is there anything else I can provide you to help you make your decision?” “If you had to make a decision today what does your gut tell you about my fit for the position?”

Step 5: Thank Them & Follow Up

STEP 5: THANK THEM & FOLLOW UP
The Interview Isn’t Over Just Because You Left Their Office
You are being evaluated from the very first contact up until the moment they decide to hire you or not to hire you. Continue to add value and impress them.

41
STEP 5: THANK THEM & FOLLOW UP
Adding More Value Than They Could Reasonably Expect
In order to stay top of mind, keep digging deeper into their biggest pain point (that they shared with you) and come up with a strategy of how they can solve the problem (with or without you). Share your research, insights and recommendations and act like you already have the job.

42
STEP 5: THANK THEM & FOLLOW UP
Make Every Touch Point Count. Keep Adding Value!
Find and send:
★ Relevant Research ★ Insights on News Topics ★ Articles Outside Their Industry Which You Tie Back ★ Opportunities
Just keep adding more value.

STEP 6: MANAGE YOUR STATE (&STORY)
Always Get Yourself In A Peak State Before Reaching Out
“The difference between being an amateur and being a professional is the ability to manage your state.”

STEP 6: MANAGE YOUR STATE (&STORY)
Your Past (Story) Does NOT Define Your Future Success
What matters is the meaning you give the events that have shaped you life up until now. You get to tell your own story and write your next chapter. What kind of story will it be?
